departing port douglas

Port Douglas, affectionately known as “Port”, is a sophisticated but laid back seaside village just 67 kilometres north of Cairns International Airport along the Captain Cook Highway. The closest town to the Great Barrier Reef with no traffic lights or parking meters in sight, Port Douglas is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life whilst still enjoying cosmopolitan and contemporary style in a tropical climate.

With our helipad nestled in the heart of town, Port Douglas is the ideal base to explore the spectacular surroundings and getting airborne is the way to do it. Let us take you to experience of some of the local treasures such as Low Isles, Cape Tribulation, the Daintree Rainforest and of course, the Great Barrier Reef.

Our flights and packages are designed to suit everyone. We look forward to welcoming you aboard for some of the best flights and scenery you will find anywhere in the world!

even more great times to choose from

Our first trip out in the helicopter was to see the barrier reef in all its majesty - and we weren't disappointed. This was an extraordinary experience - and even more amazing when we landed on a deserted spit on sand in the middle of the reef itself to enjoy a glass of champagne! What utter decadence!
